The Rarities is the eighth compilation album by American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey, released on October 2, 2020, by Columbia Records and Legacy Recordings. The album coincided with Carey's 2020 memoir The Meaning of Mariah Carey, which discussed various songs on the albums, their meanings and stories. The album was released as a part of "#MC30", a promotional marking campaign which marked the 30th anniversary of Carey's self-titled debut album.

Supported by the singles "Save the Day", "Out Here on My Own" and "Here We Go Around Again", the first of two discs on the album featured a mix of b-sides and previously unreleased material from Carey's discography. The second disc included audio from her live performance at the Tokyo Dome on March 7, 1996, during her Daydream World Tour. A Blu-ray disc featuring enhanced video footage from the concert was released exclusively in Japan. Upon release, the album received positive reviews and debuted at number 31 on the Billboard 200, while reaching the top 20 in Australia and Spain, and the top 40 in Croatia, Japan, Poland, Scotland, Switzerland and Wallonia.
